That's usually what Android users say. But actually you can buy 5+ year old factory refurbished iPhone's for less than 200 EUR and they work without much problems. Don't think any 5+ year old Android is usable with recent OS.
Why do you need recent OS? Lets be honest you will only be using it to message/calls and some browsing.

Also 2FA, Internetbanking, Bitcoin wallets, Damus (Nostr).

You dont need the latest version of OS for any of that

Not true, recently got nofication from Swedbank that their iOS banking app will no longer support iOS 15, which is the latest I can upgrade my iPhone 7 to. From my old Android days I remember apps dropping support for older Android OS versions even sooner.
